Injury Bicycle Accidents in Los Angeles
Bicycle accidents in Los Angeles have been on the rise, with a significant increase in fatalities and serious injuries in recent years. In 2023, the city recorded 15 bicyclist deaths, a 15% increase from the previous year. Many of these incidents occurred in areas lacking proper bike infrastructure, highlighting the need for enhanced safety measures. Additionally, male cyclists aged 55-64 were disproportionately affected, representing a large portion of the fatalities and injuries. The impact of bicycle accidents is also notably more severe in low-income, Black, and Latinx communities.
In the aftermath of a bicycle accident, it’s essential to seek immediate medical attention and report the incident to the police. Collecting evidence, such as photos, witness statements, and police reports, can help establish fault. Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. California’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically two years, making it crucial to consult with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
